PSB updates Alpha range

Sister brand to NAD and Bluesound, Canadian loudspeaker maker PSB has revamped its long-running Alpha range and introduced four all-new models including two compact standmounts, a floorstander and a centre speaker for multi-channel installations. The new range is said to combine improved materials and production techniques over the original design first introduced 30 years ago, offering natural sound from a minimalist and elegant cabinet.

The P3 (£179) is the smallest standmount measuring 130 x 220 x 174mm (WxHxD) and fitted with a 19mm tweeter placed below the 102mm mid/bass driver and claims a sensitivity of 87dB into 8ohm. The new tweeter used throughout the range is a ferrofluid cooled design with a Neodymium magnet offering high sensitivity and power handling, and is fitted with a waveguide designed to help the crossover transition between the tweeter and mid/bass driver, which has a textured polypropylene cone.
